Ok seriously where the hell is it? It cant be THAT hard to make a piece of plastic witha pair of power terminals.
Actually you would be surprised, how tough it is to get the mold correct and tolerance it for the spec range of all the GPUs
Different plastics / regrind mix / molding profile ......
thought there was info that there is a new revision being made - launch pushed back
Too many differences between cards and connectors for a one size fits all. So multiple molds, cavities per mold
Seems to me the tooling would be very basic. 2 piece (Family Mold), probably top and bottom shell.
Take the in gpu box power connectors, stick em in some slots made in the molded part, snap or glue together.
laser print a logo.
Materials.. Nylon,Polycarbonate, or ABS, most definitely regrind(as its not for the medical industry).
30 minutes set up on a mold machine, 30 minutes on a mold program.. Done.
20 cents worth of materials, 20 cents worth of labor(if that), and you have your $20 dollar each power adapter.
I just wish the connectors connected straight through the back(end) of card.
